There is plenty of resources out there for those looking to move. One of the main items that people use to organize themselves is checklists. These ensure that you’ve done very task anyone would need to complete when preparing for a move. The problem with many of these lists however, is that they are all encompassing, and often don’t accommodate everyone’s specific needs. This blog post is dedicated to those who are looking to create their own personalized checklists which can accommodate their needs when moving to or from Calgary, AB or elsewhere in Canada.

Consider the most important parts of your house

Everybody’s home is different, so it’s of the utmost importance to try and categorize your home in a meaningful way. Start by writing a list of the rooms in your house which hold the most valuable/important belongings in your life, and prioritize your greatest packing resources to these rooms – example, if your dining room holds some important furniture and sentimental objects, make sure to allocate your boxing and padding to this room first. Not only does this prevent the items from being packed in ‘bad’ packaging, it also prevents valuables from getting strewn around over many boxes and potentially getting lost.

Consider your family’s specific needs

One of the most important factors of your move is assuring that the belongings of all of your family members are taken care of, but moving checklists never account for an individual’s specific living situation. If you have children, make sure to consider their schooling and packing needs first, that means packing their most valuable/sentimental belongings into dedicated boxes which you can keep aware of as the moving process progresses.

Disregard tasks that don’t apply

There is no use searching for a way to complete a task on a prescribed moving checklist, so a great way to narrow down what is relevant to you and your family is to try and narrow down the list itself. This includes refuting any house related tips if you live in an apartment, or any tips related to moving services that you will not be needing. All of these extra moving tasks add to the daunting nature of moving itself, if you can manage to create a list that is personal to you, then you can begin to tackle the task without feeling overwhelmed.

Organize your moving tasks based on your bookings and schedules

It’s easy to assign an order and priorities to your moving process when you have no idea of your responsibilities, this is why many moving checklists are designed for everyone, and because of that, actually apply to almost no one. One way to do this is to mark your important dates on  calendar – have to book the movers for a certain day? Mark it down. Have to arrange to have the house cleaned on a certain day? Mark it down. Once you have a sense of these events then you can begin to work your checklist around them.

In some ways, the most important part of the moving process is that you engage in enough planning. Any amount of preparation will go a long way in making sure that the moving process goes smoothly and that your valuables arrive at your destination safely without too much expense.
